If you've got lots of last minute greeting cards to make, you might try batch painting!  You can get a peek at the process in this video:

Some notes about the video:

  • Monthly members have access to the real time version of this video.
  • I didn't use fancy paper, just nice quality blank cards I bought online.
  • I find that washi tape rips the paper less than painter's tape, but use what you like.
  • You can turn these into holiday cards by choosing a color palette that works for that holiday.
  • Add sentiments or additional designs as you wish.

Here are some batches that I've made this year:

Batch2-wm

As you can see, you don't have to start with white cards.  I've used both kraft and black cards as a base.

I hope you'll give this idea a try!

Thanks for stopping by!
